How to unload an assembly that is loaded with Assembly.LoadFo rm

I am having trouble gettting an assembly loaded with Assembly.LoadFr om.

I can get the assembly call the method I need to call. Now I want to unload
the assembly. I need to do this so that the user can (thru my app) create a
new version of the assembly. The app will call a predetermined method (sort
of an add-in) and then exit. At this point if the output is not what the
user wants , the GUI will allow the user to edit the source code that
created the assembly and recompile it. Not being able to unload means that
the compile will fail as it attempts to create the DLL.

I have tried creating an AppDomain, adding the assembly and then after
calling the method using the appdomain.unloa d. This does not free up the
dll.

Any ideas??

Hi everybody, i´m working on an application that loads different modules (dll files) via an assembly. I check the build version in that dll file and if a newer version exists, i want to update the file.

Hi everybody. I load an assembly into another AppDomain, not a default one. As there is no way to unload the assembly, I need to unload the domain. This is where the app hangs. The problem is this assembly has references to one dll, currently not performing any work. I tried this: 1. Setting the assembly to null, 2. Implementing a ClassFactory and returning an interface of the object,

Hi There, I've got a server that is waiting for requests, these request correspond to calls to objects that are specified in assemblies stored in the GAC. To do this, I use reflection to call the methods. Now, when I'm trying to optimize the code, I noticed that the assemblies that are loaded during the reflection call, are never

Morning all, Right, I've read untold articles now, listening to people bitch about there being no Unload method for Assembly. Plenty of people do counter that this is possible by loading the Assemblies into a seperate AppDomain and closing it when finish, which would suit me fine. However, I have been able to find an example.

Hi there. There are various snippets on forums regarding issues with AppDomain.Unload and how it just doesnt work. Fortunately, I got it working with the base case, after much fiddling. Consider this 5 line program: AppDomain domain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("MyDomain"); domain.CreateInstance("TempDLL", "TempDLL.Class1"); MessageBox.Show("try deleting file now"); //cant delete file AppDomain.Unload(domain);

I think I've found a possible issue with .Net AppDomain.Unload when using attribute LoaderOptimization.MultiDomain. Here you will need ProcessExplorer from SysInternals to see what assemblies are loaded for a given process. You will need to add the following code into HelloWorld1.cs and compile through the CS compiler. csc HelloWorld1.cs // C# Sample Code

I want to make a program that checks for updates at start... The way I am doing this is to create 2 projects... A simple exe checks the server for the version and downloads a dll if needed. The dll contains the program itself (so simple a form out of that dll is started). My problem is that the exe loads the dll (.LoadFrom(..)) and gets the version of that assembly to find out if an update is needed.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
